Advanced Features of the Whistler XTR-190


Battery-operated with internal battery charger
The XTR-190 doesn't require car electricity to operate. It comes complete with three rechargeable batteries plus a power cord, and can simply be recharged when it's running low.


Patented VG-2 cloaking technology
Police in many areas use "radar detector detectors," also known as RDD, which pick up the emissions of your radar detector and alert police to its use. VG-2 cloaking technology alerts you to the presence of VG-2 radar and helps alert you to the presence of a speed trap.


POP mode radar detection
POP mode is a form of police radar gun developed several years ago in an attempt to offer radar that would defeat detectors. The transmissions from POP mode radar are much faster than those from typical radars, and are emitted in short bursts rather than long signals like those from typical radar. The XTR-190 can detect even the quick signals of POP mode radar in your area, and alert you in plenty of time.


3 city modes and 1 highway mode
City mode helps reduce the interference and confusion that can be caused by things like automatic door openers, burglar alarm alerts, and other things that can cause your detector to react. While in city mode, the detector will provide an initial alert when signals are detected, and then remain quiet unless the signal strength increases. When and if the signal does increase, the unit will alert you again to notify you. This helps "weed out" other types of signals. In highway mode, the XTR-190 provides full audio and visual warning of all laser and radar signals and maintains full sensitivity at all times. Highway mode is the set default.


Quiet and Auto Quiet modes
Quiet Mode cancels audio during an alert for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, two beeps are provided on any new alert, and then the unit will remain quiet after that. Auto Quiet reduces the audio to level 1 approximately five seconds after a signal is detected.

  • 10.500 - 10.550 GHz (X band)

      Comments about Whistler XTR-190 Cordless Radar / Laser Detector:

      I like the radar detector overall, but after charging it overnight as the manual recommends, i unplugged the cord and it went dead in less than 5 minutes. i didn't feel like going thru the hassle of returning it so i just use it as a regular corded radar detector

      Comments about Whistler XTR-190 Cordless Radar / Laser Detector:

      Great unit, easy to mount and the option of either battery and or cord is great. I can use this in my car or on my motorcycle, works great. One thing that I learned real quick, is to put it on City mode II, this eliminates the X band and sercurty ban errors that are everywhere.

      I have not had a chance to truly test this unit, but so far I like it and it has nice features for the costs.
